The Energetic Solar Eruptions: Data and Analysis Tools (SOLER) project (2024–2027) will investigate the most energetic phenomena occurring at the Sun using the newly expanded unprecedented heliospheric spacecraft fleet including Solar Orbiter, Parker Solar Probe, BepiColombo, STEREO A, and near-Earth spacecraft. We investigate energetic solar eruptions starting from three perspectives: fast (speed > 1000 km/s) coronal mass ejections (CMEs), strong (GOES class > M5) X-ray flares, and large (detected at >25 MeV proton energies) solar energetic particle events. Key parameters of the various eruption phenomena will be determined and their interrelations examined to make significant leaps in our understanding on how the eruptive phenomena are linked to each other, how they interact with each other, and how they result in acceleration and release of high energy particles from the solar corona into interplanetary space. Because of their direct link to particle energisation, large-amplitude coronal waves and shocks related to these events will be in focus as well. Magnetic connections of sources with each other and with the in-situ observers will be determined. In addition to producing significant amounts of new scientific knowledge in the field, SOLER will provide the wider scientific community a wide array of advanced data products, and novel data analysis and visualisation tools that will be openly distributed.
This poster will present an overview of SOLER, its objectives and plans, and the first results of the project.
SOLER has received funding from the European Union's Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101134999.
